India's passport ranks 80th globally in 2026

India's passport is now ranked 80th in the world, which is better than last year's 85th place.

This means Indian citizens can visit 55 countries without needing a visa or can get one when they arrive.

Singapore's passport is the best, allowing entry to 192 countries.

The worst is Afghanistan's, with only 24 countries allowing entry without a visa.

Germany recently allowed Indians to transit through their airports without a visa.

As India's economy grows, more countries might let Indians visit without visas.

However, some Western countries might not be ready to do this because they are worried about immigration.

India does not allow dual citizenship, but some people think it should change this rule to make the passport more powerful.
